One New Change, EC4

Description
The building comprises 385,000ft2 of
offices and 26,000ft2 of retail held on a
long lease from the Corporation of London.
The majority of the office building is let to
Allen & Overy, who will occupy the
premises until 2006. The retail
accommodation is let to a mixture of
tenants, including Lloyds Bank and Boots.

Comment
Land Securities purchased New Change
from the Bank of England during 2000 and
provides the opportunity to develop a
substantial landmark building adjacent to
St Paul’s, with the ability to create the first
major shopping complex on the City’s most
prime retail frontage.
30 Gresham Street, EC2

Description
Gresham Street is one of the City’s largest
buildings providing approximately
390,000ft2 net of offices with floor plates up
to 49,220ft2, offering exceptional levels of
flexibility to high density occupiers. In
addition, the scheme will provide
approximately 14,000ft2 net of retail
accommodation.

Comment
The scheme was completed in December
2003. The property stands on an island
site providing a high profile frontage onto
Gresham Street. The building was
recently let in its entirety to DrKW, thus
releasing their Fenchurch Street site to
Land Securities.
Red Lion Court, SE1

Description
This is a 128,325ft2 building of high quality
specification with full air-conditioning and
raised floors. The building is wholly let to
Lloyds TSB Bank PLC for a term of 25
years from June 1990, expiring June 2015,
on FRI terms and five yearly rent reviews.

Comment
Land Securities purchased the property in
December 2004. The building is let off a
rent of £35ft2 and rental growth prospects
are good, bearing in mind the
improvements in the South Bank area.
The value is underpinned by the possibility
of a residential development in a popular
riverside location.
Bankside 123, SE1

Description
A mixed use development providing
approximately 750,000ft2 net of offices,
110,000ft2 net retail and health and fitness,
arranged over 3 buildings. Bankside
neighbours the Tate Modern and is well
connected to a number of transport hubs
providing access to the City, West End and
Docklands.

Comment
The building has been demolished and, as
a result of the early pre-letting campaign,
Bankside 1 has been pre-sold to IPC.
Tenants are being sought for the
remainder of the space before construction
starts.
Hill House, 1 Little New Street, EC4

Description
This is a building comprising 133,260ft2
plus car parking let in its entirety to
Deloittes. The terms of the lease is 35
years from 1983, expiring in 2018 at a rent
of c. £38ft2 per annum exclusive.

Comment
Land Securities purchased the freehold
interest in this building in July 2004. The
attractive running yield of 6.5% made this
an attractive acquisition adjacent to the
company’s existing holdings in New Street
Square and based on a first class
covenant.
New Street Square, EC4

Description
Planning permission for a 700,000ft2
scheme on the site of New Fetter Lane
was submitted in 2004.

Comment
After carefully considering current market
trends, Land Securities has now made a
planning application for the site which will
involve 3-4 buildings of between 150,000ft2
and 400,000ft2 each. A pre-letting
marketing campaign is underway and
Heads of Terms have been agreed with
Deloittes to take over 200,000ft2, although
it is not yet documented.
Greater London House, NW1

Description
This is a landmark 335,000ft2 building
between Camden and the West End.
Major occupiers include Book Club
Associates, Young & Rubicam and TUI.
The building is fully occupied with most
leases expiring in 2013.

Comment
Land Securities purchased the freehold
interest in this building in July 2004.
Average rents are c. £23ft2 and the rental
growth prospects are strong for this

comprising 56,500ft2 of retail space
currently divided into six large units let to a
variety of tenants, including Sainsbury’s,
Boots the Chemist and Specsavers. There
is also a restaurant and some offices.

Comment
A new development providing good quality
retail space, which is in short supply
generally in the West End. The parade
shows good rental growth prospects which
should be reflected in the rent reviews in
2004, which are being progressed at
present.
Piccadilly Circus, W1

Seven advertising screens let to
international brands, such as Coca-Cola,
McDonald’s and TDK. Two large ground
